Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 442 Liu Qing's Request

Under the cover of night, the group continued their journey, while the others, aided by their exoskeletons, quickly returned to their vehicles.

After Ye Qing and the others quickly left, Ye Qing discovered something that annoyed him immensely: there were three of them chasing after him.

Yes, three people!

Tang Xin, Tang Yan, and Ge Yan didn't see anyone else; they were only focused on chasing Ye Qing.

Ye Qing used the high mobility of the fourth-generation exoskeleton device to keep moving forward in the night, with the three following closely behind. However, due to the generational difference in the exoskeleton devices, the gap between the two sides was constantly widening.

Ye Qing did not choose the road the car had taken; he quickly left the city and disappeared into the night in the wilderness.

That large group of people was led by Liu Wudi. Ye Qing had told Wang Chaoyin and the others where they were staying, and they had originally planned to go to the place where they had been robbed before.

Therefore, Ye Qing was not worried. As long as he got to that place, he could find Wang Chaoyin and the others.

However, under the cover of night, he couldn't see the way clearly. He continued to walk in the wilderness until he had completely left the three people behind him, and only then did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"call!"

He let out a long sigh of relief after confirming that no one was behind him.

Then it landed on the trunk of a tree, breathing slightly.

Not long after, Ye Qing suddenly heard the sound of an exoskeleton device. As the sound rang out, Ye Qing's nerves tensed up instantly.

After a moment, a voice rang in his ear: "Mr. Ye, are you there?"

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Qing looked down and saw a man dressed in black walking through the woods below, calling out Ye Qing's name as he went!

Judging from his physique, he was not any of the three, including Ge Yan.

But he didn't go down. What if this bastard was setting a trap, and after he went down to ask who he was, he was exposed, and then Ge Yan and his men came out to surround him?

He was already struggling against Ge Yan alone, let alone against three people.

"I am Liu Qing!" At this moment, Liu Qing spoke up, "I just helped you hold off that super expert from the Tang Clan. Don't worry, when I came here, I already saw those three people return to the city."

Ye Qing's expression shifted.

Tang Yan hadn't made a move yet, but Ye Qing heard some fighting sounds and was wondering who was helping him.

He hesitated for a moment, then fell from the tree in an instant.

Liu Qing was dressed in black. Hearing the noise, he quickly turned around!

But at that moment, a gleaming knife was placed against his neck, and Ye Qing said coldly, "What are you doing following me?"

"Mr. Ye, please calm down!" Liu Qing quickly said, "I have no hostile intentions, otherwise I wouldn't have helped you!"

As he spoke, Liu Qing took off his mask, revealing his face. He looked at Ye Qing and said, "Mr. Ye, from the first moment I saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person. Sure enough, you are super. And if I'm not mistaken, you must be a member of the Heavenly Net. It seems that what Liu Wudi boasted when he was drunk was true. He really is a spy for the Heavenly Net!"

Ye Qing looked completely bewildered.

However, he still put the knife away and said, "Thank you for earlier!"

This comes from the bottom of my heart!

If he hadn't stopped Tang Yan, Tang Yan, hiding in the shadows, with his superb skills and hidden weapon techniques, probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed like this.

Liu Qing said, "These are all minor matters."

"Do you need something from me?" Ye Qing asked.

Liu Qing nodded, then gave a wry smile and said, "To be honest, the City Lord's Mansion has been forcing us to choose sides. I don't want to make a choice, nor do I want to go against the Tianluodiwang people, but I can't afford to offend Van Guise. So during this time, I have been secretly sending all my men out of the city, leaving only a small number behind!"

"When the day comes that we have to make a decision, we will find a way to leave the city!" Liu Qing said with a wry smile.

"So?" Ye Qing asked, "You want me to take you away from this island?"

Liu Qing nodded and said, "If you are a member of Tianluodiwang, then I do have such an idea. Rest assured, most of me and my men are second-generation rich kids in this city. We have never done anything wrong outside. We are even willing to be recruited by Tianluodiwang and serve them. If Tianluodiwang doesn't want us, we will definitely abide by Tianluodiwang's rules!"

Ye Qing looked at the candid Liu Qing!

At this moment, after seeing Ye Qing's extraordinary identity, this guy no longer had the calmness he had when he first met Ye Qing. Instead, every word he spoke was tentative, as if he were a sycophant caught in a web of traps.

"Have all the others under your command left?" Ye Qing asked.

"Hmm!" Liu Qing nodded and said, "Today I saw Qi Ping'an's men hoarding supplies in the market. I guessed that he might be planning something tonight. There might be a huge change in the city tonight, so I had my men leave quietly, while I came to take a look myself!"

At this point, Qi Ping'an said, "The result was just as I expected, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful, to be able to fight Ge Yan to a standstill!"

"Stop flattering me!" Ye Qing said, "I'm at a disadvantage!"

At this point, Ye Qing pondered and said, "As for whether I can take you out, I can say I can take you out, but... there's one problem. After we get out, we need to investigate the background of each of you. If there really is someone who is utterly wicked, I guarantee I will send him back to this island!"

"Don't worry!" Liu Qing said with a look of ecstatic joy, "Absolutely not!"

To be honest, Ye Qing didn't really understand Liu Qing's situation, but he did need these kinds of help in this city. Chiyang, where Liu Qing was, was the leader of the Eight Gates and Four Sects, and its strength was quite considerable. If he could stand on Ye Qing's side, it would be a huge help to him.

As for their leaving the island, it wasn't difficult at all.

After all, if they really are second-generation rich kids, there's no need for them to suffer in this city for the crimes committed by their ancestors.

What Ye Qing didn't know was that when Tianludiwang controlled this city, the birth of every child would force their parents to make a choice: keep them by their side or send them off to live on the island!

However, this custom was lost on the island after the war thirty years ago.

"Where is your agreed-upon place of lodging?" Liu Qing asked. "I am very familiar with this island; I can take you there!"

Ye Qing pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know the name of that place, but there's a gang of bandits there, and one of them is named Li Bo!"

This is a friend of Wang Shun, the vegetable vendor who drove Ye Qing and the others back to the city.

Liu Qing thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any impression of the bandit Li Bo, but I can ask my men!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Then... I'll have to trouble you!"

Liu Qing quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ye, please don't say that. It's only right that we do something for you!"

Seeing his expression, Ye Qing felt incredibly frustrated!

After Ye Qing's identity was exposed, his attitude towards Ye Qing changed so drastically that it was almost excessive.

He didn't act like a top expert in the city at all; instead, he was like a sycophant.

"Alright, let's not delay, let's go ask your men right away!" Ye Qing said.

"Alright!" Liu Qing quickly said, "Mr. Ye, please come with me!"

As they talked, the two quickly disappeared into the night, one after the other, heading towards the hideout of Liu Qing's men.
